Yeah, me too--I'm actually thinking about writing my first blog post as a LYAH-level intro to monad transformers :)

Here's an article that helped me understand them: http://www.grabmueller.de/martin/www/pub/Transformers.en.htm...

yeah i thought of writing a chapter about monad transformers, but it didn't really fit in. if i do a second round of chapters monad transformers will definitely be there. otherwise, just come on into #haskell and ask about stuff and you'll quickly be elucidated!
